Evolution, Advanced Manufacturing Park, Sheffield comprises 15 modern industrial units extending to 87,500 sq ft with an average lease length of over 5 years and is let to tenants including Rolls Royce, Xeros and Sandvik.
The property was acquired for £7,200,000, representing an initial yield of 9.5%.
